Coffee happens to be my favorite hot drink. I love drinking it during cold nights. Since you are in summer I can't enjoy it that much, only the heat that is. I googled a little about how I can still enjoy it in this heat and came across this cool recipe =)

Coffee doesn't have to be served as a hot drink all the time. This iced coffee recipe will cool you down on a warm day. This is a quick and easy iced coffee recipe using instant coffee. I
make this often after I come home from a long day at work or at school
to give me that little boost until it's time to go to bed.

The proportions I proposed makes an average strength coffee drink. Feel
free to change them to fit your desires. Please do not to make this
drink too strong (too much coffee/sugar) or your heart will start
racing. It's happened to me once or twice and it's not a nice feeling.

Sometimes people will spice their iced coffees. I've listed some ideas
for you to try if you wish. Start with 1/4 teaspoon and add more if you
want it to smell stronger. A combination of spices/flavors could be
interesting! ;)

Microwave it on high for
30 sec to warm it but do not boil the water (2).

Add 1 tablespoon of
instant coffee and mix (3).

Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of white sugar (4).

Add some spices/flavours while the mixture is still warm (optional).

Mix it well (5).

Cool it in the freezer for 5 min (or fridge for 10
min) (6).

Add 1 cup of milk (7)

and mix (8).

Add some ice cubes (9).

Serve.

Variations

If you have brewed coffee: add 1/2 cup of brewed
coffee for step 1 and skip step 2 and 3, then proceed as usual for the
rest of the recipe.

If you're using cream instead of milk: add
the cream (usually 1 or 2 tablespoons is enough) after you add the sugar
in step 4. Then in step 7, add water

If you want a black iced coffee (with instant
coffee): add water instead of the milk in step 7. Also add additional
coffee/sugar if it's too dilute for you (no more than 1 tablespoon of
each, otherwise it's just too strong and your heart will be racing all
day).
